Do you want to supersize that?

And remember to smile.

I am reading Fast Food Nation and I don't think I will ever eat beef again.

I don't much like fast food either, but I do like beef. One thing about he meat I eat though is that my father is an independent meat cutter and cuts up animals for local farmers and some times buys a half of beef or pork from them.

Beef is nasty. I hate all beef products (hamburger especially, but also steak, leather...) The only meat worth eating, in my opinion, is pork. Bacon, ham steaks, ham... yum ^_^ Also, I never eat at McDonalds, I much prefer Arby's... Is one of the best resteraunts in teh world!

also, I'ma gonna test something real quick, as long as I'm here-

EDIT- Nope, didn't work, will have to do it the hard way... *sigh*

I know beef is not the best meat for you, but the worst is how it gets to your plate. I work as a designer of hydraulic equipement and if our factory was run like these meat packing plants OSHA would close use down as a biohazard. The next time they make a movie about a deadly disease contaminating the Earth they could easily start it from one of these plants. These places are on the edge of filth and millions of pounds a beef go through them ever day.

Just read the book Fast Food Nation and hold on tight when you get to the chapter "What's In the Meat". Even the chapter before that gives you a warning as to what is about to come.

God help us.

This is not a problem for me. I know the meat cutter,the butcher who usually does the killing, and I know most of the local farmers so I don't worry about the quality of the meat.

You're lucky Rallem. It would about the only way I would eat beef again. I actually cut down the amount of beef I take in over the last few years. I have learned poultry and fish are about the best meat you can eat. Our human resources department had a guy come in to lecture our entire company on proper diet. Can't say I follow evrything he said. I mean I got to have my chocolate donuts and coffee or I will die.

I fully understand Traveler. I know that I have to eat healthier, and I try, but I also know that no matter what I eat no one gets out of this alive so sometimes I splurge. I fully respect those of us who choose to be vegetarian, because I understand that some people are just different from me and either cannot stand the idea of killing an animal or they choose to be a vegetarian for health reasons. I remember growing up and having to kill chickens for dinner and a few pigs, so I know what it is to have to kill to eat, and I can respect others for not wanting to go through that ordeal, and I am trying to eat more vegetables now to offset my meals, but I don't think I would be able to stop eating meat.
